Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

options: Understand the place value system.

Extend the counting sequence.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. (A range of algorithms may be used.)

Understand place value.

Work with numbers 11–19 to gain foundations for place value.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for subtracting multi-digit numbers when the minuend is a multiple of 100. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students will need to be able to interpret student work and solve word problems that involve multi-digit numbers.
Launch
Display one expression.
“Give me a signal when you have an answer and can explain how you got it.”
Activity
1 minute: quiet think time
Record answers and strategy.
Keep expressions and work displayed.
Repeat with each expression.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression mentally.
\(5,\!000 - 403\)
\(5,\!300 - 473\)
\(25,\!300 - 493\)
\(26,\!000 - 1,\!493\)

Activity Synthesis
“Did you find yourself always using an earlier expression to help you find the value of a new expression? Did you find yourself switching strategies at times?”
“Which expression did you find most challenging to reason about?” (Sample response:
\(26,\!000-1,\!493\)
because there were many zeros in the number being subtracted from.)
